Landscapes of Remembrance Register of Parks and Gardens Selection Guide Summary Landscapes of Remembrance Register of Parks and Gardens Selection Guide Summary Historic England’s selection guides help to define which historic buildings and sites are likely to meet the relevant tests for national designation. Four guides, of which this is one, deal with the types of site included on Historic England’s Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in England which is a constituent part of the National Heritage List for England. Each guide falls into two halves. The first defines the types of site included in it, before going on to give a brisk overview of how these developed through time, with notice of the main designers and some of the key sites. The second half of the guide sets out the particular tests a site has to meet if it is to be included on the Register. A select bibliography gives suggestions for further reading. This guide covers Landscapes of Remembrance, that is the designed landscapes of cemeteries and burial grounds of all sorts. The other three guides treat Rural, Urban, and Institutional landscapes.

Indeed, in 1867, Churchyards constitute some of our most sensitive the Churchyard Consecration Act simplified the historical open spaces, and a high proportion conveyancing procedure for the donation of land have Anglo-Saxon origins. Many, both rural and for churchyards. The Act specified that the donor urban, occupy clearly-planned compartments could retain one sixth of the donated portion for in settlements, and in the Middle Ages were private usage, and as a consequence some open spaces used for a variety of functions, churchyard extensions include fenced enclaves. generally without permanent grave markers until Churchyard extension was commonplace, partly as the seventeenth century or later. Churchyards are places with natural, as well as man-made, importance. Many of England’s oldest yew trees stand in churchyards, although just why this should be, and their true age, remains uncertain. Few churchyards appear to have been laid out as formal designed landscapes. Occasionally Georgian ornamental planting – tree-lined paths, for instance – is evidenced, and Painswick (Gloucestershire; registered Grade II*; Fig 1) is a rare example where this survives in dramatic form. In the mid nineteenth century churchyards lost their near-monopoly on burial. Some, especially in towns, were closed, while others followed the trends set by private and municipal cemeteries as they gained elaborate monuments and Figure 1 ornamental, largely evergreen, planting such Painswick Churchyard, Gloucestershire.

  • Cemeteries Strategy for the London Borough of Brent
    Cemeteries Strategy for the London Borough of Brent Table of Contents Executive Summary Section1: Introduction Section 2: Current Provision Section 3: Demand for Burial Space Section 4: Income and Expenditure Section 5: Key Issues and Areas for Development Section 6: Vision and Objectives Appendices Appendix 1: Legal Background and Statutory Powers Appendix 2: Action Plan Appendix 3: Consultation Report 1 Executive Summary Brent Council is a burial authority by virtue of the Local Government Act 1972 and is legally obliged to maintain its cemeteries ‘in good order and repair’ 1. It is not legally obliged to provide new burial space but the sale of space generates income that funds the maintenance of cemeteries and provides a service to residents. If the council does not continue to provide new burial space to meet demand, maintenance costs will still have to be met, creating a budget shortfall. The council owns and manages three cemeteries within the borough; Alperton, Paddington Old and Willesden New. It also jointly owns Carpenders Park Cemetery, located outside the borough within the area of Three Rivers District Council near Watford. Harrow Council owns approximately 25% of the burial land at Carpenders Park with Brent managing the whole cemetery as part of a joint delivery arrangement. The council is currently exploring options for the grounds maintenance and management of its cemeteries as part of its Managing the Public Realm project. The three cemeteries in Brent are traditionally laid out with memorial stones while Carpenders Park is a lawn cemetery with graves grassed over apart from horizontal memorial plaques. New land for graves is available at Carpenders Park but not at any of the cemeteries located in the borough.

  • Cemetery Records
    RESEARCH GUIDE Cemetery Records Research Guide 5: Cemetery Records CONTENTS Introduction Main cemetery records held at LMA Bunhill Fields (CLC/271) New Bunhill Fields, Islington (B/NBF) The City of London Cemetery, Little Ilford (CLA/052) The City of London and Tower Hamlets Cemetery (CTHC) Other cemetery records at LMA Indexes and Transcripts in the LMA Library Records held elsewhere Introduction Before the mid-19th century most burials in London took place in churchyards and from the mid-16th century were recorded in parish registers. Some hospitals and other institutions had their own burial grounds. From the time of the Black Death special burial grounds outside the City walls were provided for people who died from the periodic epidemics of plague which afflicted London. Land to the north of the Artillery Ground known as Bunhill Fields was set aside in 1665 as a plague burial ground, but was not used for this purpose. It then became a burial ground for nonconformists. After 1690 many nonconformist meeting houses and chapels were established in London some of which had their own burial grounds. By the late 18th century the London churchyards were becoming overcrowded. New cemeteries were established as private speculations generally offering slightly lower charges for burials than the churchyards. Some of these burial grounds were originally connected to chapels adjoining them, but were subsequently bought by private individuals. By 1835 there were at least fourteen such burial grounds in London including Spa Fields, Clerkenwell, opposite London Metropolitan Archives (LMA) where about 80, 000 people were buried. An enquiry in 1843 discovered that about 40 burials were taking place each day.

  • A Brief History of War Memorial Design
    A BRIEF HISTORY OF WAR MEMORIAL DESIGN War Memorials in Manitoba: An Artistic Legacy A BRIEF HISTORY OF WAR MEMORIAL DESIGN war memorial may take many forms, though for most people the first thing that comes to mind is probably a freestanding monument, whether more sculptural (such as a human figure) or architectural (such as an arch or obelisk). AOther likely possibilities include buildings (functional—such as a community hall or even a hockey rink—or symbolic), institutions (such as a hospital or endowed nursing position), fountains or gardens. Today, in the 21st century West, we usually think of a war memorial as intended primarily to commemorate the sacrifice and memorialize the names of individuals who went to war (most often as combatants, but also as medical or other personnel), and particularly those who were injured or killed. We generally expect these memorials to include a list or lists of names, and the conflicts in which those remembered were involved—perhaps even individual battle sites. This is a comparatively modern phenomenon, however; the ancestors of this type of memorial were designed most often to celebrate a victory, and made no mention of individual sacrifice. Particularly recent is the notion that the names of the rank and file, and not just officers, should be set down for remembrance. A Brief History of War Memorial Design 1 War Memorials in Manitoba: An Artistic Legacy Ancient Precedents The war memorials familiar at first hand to Canadians are most likely those erected in the years after the end of the First World War. Their most well‐known distant ancestors came from ancient Rome, and many (though by no means all) 20th‐century monuments derive their basic forms from those of the ancient world.

    APPENDIX 2 Full Business Case (FBC) 1. General Information Directorate Economy Portfolio/Committee Leader’s Portfolio Project Title Jewellery Project Code Revenue TA- Quarter 01843-01 Cemeteries Capital – to follow Project Description Aims and Objectives The project aims to reinstate, restore and improve the damaged and vulnerable fabric of Birmingham’s historic Jewellery Quarter cemeteries – Key Hill and Warstone Lane – and make that heritage more accessible to a wider range of people. Their importance is recognised in the Grade II* status of Key Hill Cemetery in the Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest, and the Grade II status of Warstone Lane Cemetery. The project is an integral part of the wider heritage of the Jewellery Quarter and complements the other heritage investment taking place here, such as the JQ Townscape Heritage programme and the completion of the Coffin Works (both part-funded by HLF). Heritage is a key part of the Jewellery Quarter with over 200 listed buildings and four other museums (Museum of the Jewellery Quarter, Pen Room, Coffin Works, JW Evans). The funding provides an opportunity to bring much needed investment to conserve and enhance two important listed cemeteries, providing a resource and opportunities for visitors and residents alike to visit, enjoy and get involved with. The project will deliver the following (full details are set out in the Design Specification): Full 10-year management and maintenance plans for both cemeteries Interpretation plan Capital works - Warstone Lane cemetery Reinstatement of the historical boundary railings (removed in the 1950s), stone piers and entrance gates on all road frontages; Resurfacing pathways to improve access; Renovation of the catacomb stonework and installation of a safety balustrade; Creation of a new Garden of Memory and Reflection in the form of a paved seating area reinterpreting the footprint of the former (now demolished) chapel; General tree and vegetation management.

    Remembmbrance Days Deutscher Soldatenfriedhof Langemark vrijdag 11 & zaterdag 12 november 2016 Remembrance Days 2016 Vrijdag 11 & zaterdag 12 november 2016 Voor het elfde jaar op rij kunnen wij in Ieper de plechtigheden bijwonen naar aanleiding van de herdenking van de Wapenstilstand. Dankzij het stadsbestuur van Ieper en dankzij het bestuur van de Last Post Association kunnen wij ook dit jaar de speciale Last Post plechtigheid op 11 november om 11 uur onder de Menenpoort bijwonen. Naast het traditionele programma dat afgesloten wordt met het concert The Great War Remembered in de Sint-Maarten kathedraal worden dit jaar twee extra activiteiten aan het programma toegevoegd. In de namiddag volgen we een workshop in de Ieperse kazematten van Coming World Remember Me. Dit project wordt uitgevoerd in opdracht van de provincie West-Vlaanderen en maakt deel uit van het grootschalige herinneringsproject GoneWest/Reflections on the Great War. Tijdens de periode 2014-2018 nemen duizenden mensen uit Vlaanderen maar ook uit de rest van de wereld, deel aan de making of door 600.000 beeldjes uit klei te boetseren. Daarbij staat elk beeldje voor één van de 600.000 slachtoffers die in België het leven lieten tijdens de Eerste Wereldoorlog. Bij elk beeldje hoort een dogtag, een identificatieplaatje voor frontsoldaten. Op deze dog tag staat een slachtoffernaam uit de digitale ‘Namenlijst’ die door het In Flanders Fields Museum in Ieper wordt samengesteld. Ook de naam van de maker komt op de dog tag. Zo verenigen verschillende nationaliteiten en generaties zich in de herdenking. In het voorjaar van 2018 zal de installatie geïmplementeerd worden op één van de meest bevochten plekken van de Eerste Wereldoorlog: het niemandsland van de frontzone rond Ieper.
